President Elect Angela
welcomed visiting Rotarians PP Joop Litmaath and AG Meggy Tseung. CP
Dennis was Sergeant-at-Arms.
Rtn. Francesco announced that our
next evening meeting on 19 Feb will be a wine tasting dinner. Our
Leprosy project reported much success in fund raising. The rapid
growth of the project will require a more comprehensive management structure.
Mr. W. T. Chong spoke about the
MacDonald House in Shatin, near the Prince of Wales Hospital, used to house
the parents of young cancer patients. It keeps the family
together in a time of great stress and need. The parents can easily
visit their children in hospital, and the children can visit their parents
on weekends. There are over 20 rooms in the house, and the nominal
charge is waived if the parents are needy. About $2 million a year is
raised and MacDonald's Corp. makes up any shortfall.
In the raffle, Rtn. Fali won the
bottle and President Peter won 12 golf balls...half of which he auctioned
off for charity.
The meeting concluded with a toast
to the Rotary Clubs of Hong Kong and Peninsula Sunrise.
